Fondue Recipes

The fondue is a traditional Swiss dish meant to be shared around a table. Melted ingredients, usually a thick mixture of cheeses, milks, and spices, are kept warm in a clay pot over a burner, and complimentary foods are skewered and dipped into the pot. Typical fondue recipes include sharp cheeses, such as cheddar, or pungent cheeses, such as Swiss. Additional liquids in the formulas may include alcohols like wine, brandy, or sherry, which balance out the cheese flavors, and may also include creams and milks, which give depth and thickness.
